Article in Journal of bioethical inquiry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) legislation has raised significant bioethical debates over medically assisted death. These debates specifically relate to concerns over whether MAID legislates the belief the people with disabilities' lives are inherently negative. This paper examines MAID and these debates through Marth Nussbaum's capabilities approach and Eva Feder Kittay's care centric conception of disability. It questions to what degree MAID legislates the belief that disability is an inherently negative condition of life and how to best address socio-political factors that contribute to a negative condition of life.
